The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the Victorian era, natural history and entomology became popular passions, inspiring jewellers to create pieces featuring bees, dragonflies, and beetles. Naturalistic motifs symbolised various virtues, such as devotion, change, and rebirth.

Victorian bar brooches were commonly crafted from nine-carat or fifteen-carat yellow gold, silver, or gold-gilt metals. Decorative elements frequently included seed pearls, turquoise cabochons, garnets, and hand-engraved detailing.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces often feature tube hinges, extended pin stems, and simple C-clasps or safety-pin mechanisms. Look for British hallmarks, makers marks, and hand-set gemstone mountings typical of the era.

An antique insect brooch can be fastened to the lapel of a tailored blazer, attached to a silk scarf, or pinned to the band of a hat. Grouping multiple insect pins together on heavy wool outerwear is also a contemporary styling method.

Turquoise and pearls are organic and porous materials that can suffer damage from chemical cleaners, water immersion, or perfume. Clean the gold metal gently using a dry microfibre cloth, avoiding direct contact with the set stones.
